Priced lower, for now.
I haven’t had this pattern extensively tested, which is why the pattern is temporarily lower.

This is the formula I used to create the “Tante Mimi” bag, that I knit for my “The luxury industry is killing itself” video on YouTube. You can find that video here: https://youtu.be/RZPzdi1tQmQ?si=MHL2gp9lCaA6TE53

The bag is inspired by a knitted bag made by a high-fashion luxury brand and allows you to finish up a whole bag of that scrap yarn I know you’ve been hiding in your house ;-)

A formula means that this is not a detailed step-by-step instruction to get “exactly” the bag that I made. You will have different leftover yarns, and that will affect how the bag looks. This pattern assumes you are comfortable fudging your knitting a bit to make things work.
